@Darth, And this year it has less software, so what's your point Darth? Price won't make much of a difference in sales when you don't have the software to push the hardware.

@Buzzi, the PS3 has been having more Hardware driving software for the last few weeks than the Wii, like this week it has this winning eleven game, the price cut in Japan hasn't had the same effect as in the west, because there haven't been games to push the hardware for Wii in Japan.

Yes I know, but what I wanted to say is that Wii is not performing well...maybe it's doing ok for not having system sellers in like 4 months (MH3) but not exactly what you would expect from the console leader which also had a price cut. Luckly there are bundles and games in december, but at this point I'm not sure they'll be enough to put the Wii in 1st position, over the ps3.

Just look at last years sales, and how the Wii ramped up at the holidays, and last year Wii had a weaker Japanese lineup in december than it will this year.
